Hey, I can take any of this and push it MUCH further through the looking
glass. Yes, I'm about to get really far out, consider yourselves warned.

How about this: Cydonia was the last refuge of a race on the verge of
elimination by the horrors. They fought valiantly, but failed. And then,
having consumed all life on one world, the horrors turned their hungry eyes
upon another.

Anyway, I LIKE this guy's ideas! Fit in quite nicely with some of mine!

Okay, guys, here goes with my ideas. Everybody seems to be thinking in
terms of elves, dragons, etc. actually being aliens. What if the "reality"
is the other way around?

Decades before magic rose to levels that humans were able to notice and
use, some horror managed to open the way for a few of its contructs to
enter our world and start paving the way for itself and its kind to return.
It equipped these constructs with some means to create a local increase in
the magic level, artifacts capable of harnessing a low-mana field, etc. The
constructs surveyed the world that the humans had shaped without magic. To
maintain their magics, these constructs performed blood magic rituals, but
only on animals (so as not to alert the humans too early). Occasionally,
they kidnapped humans for study, often "marking" them in some way, and
altering their memories. And occasionally, they took unborn children to
corrupt into more horror constructs...
